Learning to pump

Dropping into a ramp wasn’t that hard after all that time that's passed. I guess the one thing I remember from skateboarding earlier in my life is that it’s a lot about commitment, and overcoming the mental barrier in your head built up by the fear of getting hurt.

Of course it’s different in your forties. The body doesn’t heal that quickly any more, slamming has more severe consequences now than it had 25 years ago.

Anyways, the drop-in is such a mental game: easy to do, but just scary to think about.

I need to get some more bowl mileage in, and build up that leg and core strength and endurance.
